Nottinghamshire motor neurone disease campaigner Sam Perkins dies

A campaigner and fundraiser for research into motor neurone disease (MND) has died, his family have said.

Sam Perkins, from East Leake, Nottinghamshire, was 37 when he was diagnosed with the condition in March 2019.

The former triathlete helped raise more than £250,000 through his charity Stand Against MND.

In September he was presented with an award at a ceremony organised by an online fundraising organisation.
